The Bahomea and Malango House of Chiefs on Central Guadalcanal are furious with the news that Mr. Rence Sore has been appointed to the post of Special Secretary to the Prime Minister (SSPM).
In a statement to SIBC, the chiefs say, Mr. Sore was the PS of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification during the $18-million Landowners royalty scandal a few years back.
It was alleged that as PS responsible, Sore authorized payments, which were later found to breach the Mines and Minerals Regulations.
